Chapter 1294: Boss Pei Was Right On Point Again!
November 6th, Tuesday…
Shanghai, Long Yu Corporation.
Chrétien and Jin Yong were also busy preparing for the IOI global finals.
IOI’s global finals might be held in Europe this ti but there was still a lot of work done in China. For example, the dostic server would be running operations, organizing offline competition events, communicating with various live-stream platforms about the competition live-stream, and so on.
Comparatively, they were actually more tired than Eric and Zhao Xuming.
That was because Zhao Xuming was reporting directly to Boss Pei. He could decide on many things on his own and save a lot of ti for inefficient communication.
On the other hand, Chrétien and Jin Yong had to report to Finger Gas, Long Yu Corporation, and even Dayak Corporation respectively. Many normal plans had to go through the process.
So plans could only be dealt with steadily, while others had to be completed as soon as possible.
At that mont, the two had just finished their work. They had a chance to et.
Chrétien asked, “Is there any new news from GOG?”
Jin Yong shook his head. “I haven’t.”
Chrétien sighed. “Boss Pei is really calm.”
“At this point in ti, there’s still no news. I heard that even the broadcast rights have not been finalized.”
“I feel like there must be a conspiracy behind this.”
Jin Yong comforted him. “That might not be the case. Perhaps Boss Pei is too busy and cannot be bothered about GOG’s international invitational tournant for the ti being.”
Chrétien did not believe him at all. “That’s impossible.”
“Who wouldn’t be able to handle it? Boss Pei would definitely be able to as well.”
“You must not underestimate Boss Pei under any circumstances. Otherwise, you will suffer the most serious consequences!”
“This ti, I’m 100% sure that Boss Pei will make a big move against us.”
“I can tell from GOG’s international invitational tournant schedule…”
GOG’s international invitational tournant and IOI’s global finals last year were staggered.
GOG would start in September, and end in September. IOI would start at the end of December, and end at the end of January.
These two large-scale competitions were nearly three months apart.
In fact, Finger Gas had originally planned to organize the international competition around September and October. However, they had not thought about organizing a huge event at that ti. They had only wanted to find an ordinary venue to ss around.
He had not expected GOG to create such a huge scene.
Thus, Finger Gas overthrew all the original plans. After delaying it, they set the ti at the end of December.
On one hand, they had to prepare more before they could make a bigger scene and surpass GOG. On the other hand, they had to divert as much ti as possible from GOG’s international invitational tournant. They had to avoid the after-effects of the popularity and differentiate it.
Facts had proven that IOI’s global finals had indeed reached the expected popularity. However, most of the popularity had been won by the FV Team…
This year was different.
It was a little too late for Finger Gas to only play the global finals at the end of December. It was already January next year. Which year was the global finals?
Thus, he had to bring forward the schedule for this year.
September, October, November. These three months were more suitable. They could not be delayed to the end of December at the latest.
They wanted to be fast, but there were various regional competitions before the global finals after all.
GOG and IOI were in a similar situation. They had only started planning for the other regions in the world this year. Thus, the start tis for each region were different.
So competition zones started later. They could not possibly cut off half of the competition schedule, right?
It would not be good to compress it forcefully.
Thus, after taking into account the ti in each competition zone, the global finals were set to be in November.
Next year, he would definitely have to work hard to move forward. It would be best to move it to October.
What surprised Finger Gas was that GOG’s international invitational tournant had been delayed!
On the surface, GOG seed to be facing the sa problem. They had to wait for the competition schedule of the other regions.
However, Chrétien felt that things were definitely not that simple.
They had purposely arranged it so that IOI would die!
It looked like Boss Pei was very confident in GOG and his own international invitational tournant. He must have been prepared to play so tricks.
Thus, Chrétien did not dare to be negligent and kept observing.
However, after observing for a long ti, there did not seem to be much movent there, especially in the dostic business. It had always been calm and peaceful.
From the news from various live-stream platforms, they had not even decided how to sell the broadcasting rights for GOG’s international competition.
This was a little psychedelic. After all, IOI had already discussed the conditions with various live-stream platforms and sold the broadcasting rights for IOI World Competition.
What was Boss Pei waiting for?
Chrétien could not eat or sleep well knowing this.
He was the one who organized the international competition last year. Boss Pei’s unpredictable thods made him still feel a lingering fear when he thought about it.
He might not be the one hosting the international competition this year, but he recalled the fear of being completely suppressed by Boss Pei’s IQ.
Whenever he encountered sothing slightly abnormal, he would worry if Boss Pei was up to sothing bad.
The two of them were chatting when Jin Yong’s cell phone suddenly rang.
His expression changed slightly. He stood up and went outside to answer a call.
After a while, Jin Yong rushed back.
“It’s a move, Boss Pei has made a move!”
“I received news from the live-stream platform that Boss Zhao signed a contract with more than ten live-stream platforms in one go from yesterday to today. He has included all the major and minor live-stream platforms, without missing a single one!”
Chrétien frowned when he heard that.
Did you see that? That was Tengda’s efficiency!
Even soone like Boss Zhao beca so efficient in Tengda. It was really surprising.
This further confird Chrétien and the others’ thoughts: Tengda had been delaying obviously not because Boss Pei was too busy to take care of it, but because it was secretly preparing for sothing, waiting for the right ti!
Otherwise, he would not have been so swift and decisive.
Jin Yong continued, “What’s even scarier is that Tengda’s contract terms with these live-stream platforms are very strange. They allow these live-stream platforms to use the recomndation resources on the platforms to convert the broadcast rights fees!”
Chrétien was stunned. “That can happen?!”
He did not ask if the source of the news was accurate because there was a high chance that it was not wrong.
Long Yu Corporation had a certain amount of influence in the country and had its own channels for information. What’s more, Tengda had looked for so many live-stream platforms to sign the contract this ti with great fanfare. They could not keep it a secret, and it was obvious that they did not intend to keep it a secret.
Of course, the contents of the contract were confidential. Jin Yong and Chrétien could not see the specific details of the contract, but they could roughly understand the general content as long as they spoke.
Chrétien could not sit still anymore. He stood up and walked around twice.
“Boss Pei’s move is as sinister as ever!”
“I can imagine the consequences. Other platforms will definitely spend most of their publicity resources on GOG. On the hopages of various platforms, the spaces occupied by these two world competitions will definitely differ greatly…”
“This is heartbreaking!”
“The key is that we can’t seem to do anything.”
“We have already signed a contract with various live-stream platforms. We have already discussed the money. We did not ntion the recomndation spots at all.”
“It would probably be very difficult to supplent the agreent now.”
Chrétien and Jin Yong were both helpless.
That was because IOI had already signed with various live-stream platforms. They had not considered the recomndation spots when they signed them.
The live-streaming rights of these live-stream platforms were all bought with money. They had to give a similar recomndation spot, right? Otherwise, wouldn’t that be spending money to buy loneliness?
There might be GOG’s international invitational tournant but there were so many recomndation spots on live-stream platforms.
At that ti, Chrétien had thought that, with so many recomndation spots, even if the best were all given to GOG and left so for IOI, it would be enough.
Take the rolling banner on the hopage for example. Each page was on the other. You might be in front but you were slightly better. However, overall, we were considered passable.
However, with Boss Pei doing this, it would not be a matter of one page per page.
Then, the rolling banner would be canceled, and all the publicity materials for GOG’s international invitational tournant would be released!
After all, the higher the recomndation, the higher the discount.
These live-stream platforms had also spent money on IOI’s broadcasting rights, but money had been spent after all. How could they dig out more money like GOG?
Jin Yong said, “Boss Pei has obviously been waiting. Once we’ve signed the contract with all the other live-stream platforms and can’t change it anymore, we’ll sign this contract with these platforms at lightning speed. It’ll directly block our retreat!”
Both of them looked at each other speechlessly after their analysis.
Chrétien probed, “Can we talk to these live-stream platforms? Didn’t Tengda not mandate how many recomndation spots to be given in the agreent with them?”
Jin Yong shook his head. “It’s not enough.”
There were no mandatory requirents indeed, but the recomndation spots and prices were all clearly priced.
Boss Pei could not be stingy in this aspect.
On the other hand, IOI had already signed a contract with the live-stream platform. Whether they gave recomndation spots would affect the live-stream platform to a certain extent, it was incomparable to real money.
IOI could not possibly put money on the live-stream platform to make them give up the money that Boss Pei promised, right?
Who would fork out the money?
Long Yu Corporation? Or Dayak Corporation?
It would be unrealistic no matter who it was!
The key was that IOI’s broadcasting rights had already been sold. Would they have to spit out the money they had obtained because of Boss Pei?
He was probably thinking too much.
Eric and Jin Yong did not count on this matter. What’s more, they knew very well that even if they reported this situation and gave suggestions, they would most likely not be of any use. The higher-ups would definitely not accept it.
It would be strange if the higher-ups could pass since it involved spending money for nothing.
Boss Pei’s move accurately hit IOI’s Achilles’ heel!
